Piers Morgan turns on Trump after yesterday's press conference with Putin

[highplainsdem]

Yes, Trump's buddy and defender Piers Morgan:

Morgan does sort of excuse/explain Trump's behavior with the "wounded ego" theory that Trump can't admit Russia helped him win because it delegitimizes his election. As I explained in part of another thread today, that's an explanation/excuse that plays into the hands of Trump and his defenders, and it's also much less likely than the real reasons for his behavior.

and the sub-thread starting with reply #4 there.

1. well, as much as I detest Piers Morgan, that was cathartic to read.

2. False. Morgan does this dance every now and then.

Don't be fooled. He'll never turn on Trump.

He'll make up to Trump in other ways. Give it a few days. Morgan is one of the worse sycophants out there because he pretends to be impartial.

3. Piers Morgan is the media equivilant of Lindsay Graham.

He inexplicably kisses Trump's ass, then occasionally grows a spine and criticizes him, only to go straight back to kissing his ass again.
